This shows how huge these nuggets are. "It contained 190kg of specimens including two unique stones which weighed 95kg and 63kg, respectively, with final estimates of 2440oz and 1620oz of gold within them." If their gold content is right, The Beta-Hunt Nugget (has not been named yet), is by about 100 oz the largest gold nugget ever found either placer or hard rock ever!
Largest nuggets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_nugget
In literature, there are two nuggets that claim their status as the biggest gold nuggets in the world: the Welcome Stranger with the Cana nugget being the largest surviving natural nugget. Considered by most authorities to be the biggest gold nugget ever found, the Welcome Stranger was found at Moliagul, Victoria, Australia in 1869 by John Deason and Richard Oates. It weighed gross, over 2,520 troy ounces (78 kg; 173 lb) and returned over 2,284 troy ounces (71.0 kg; 156.6 lb) net.[6] The Welcome Stranger is sometimes confused with the similarly named Welcome Nugget, which was found in June 1858 at Bakery Hill, Ballarat, Australia by the Red Hill Mining Company. The Welcome weighed 2,218 troy ounces (69.0 kg; 152.1 lb). It was melted down in London in November 1859.[7]
The Cana nugget, also known as the Pepita Canaa, was found on September 13, 1983 by miners at the Serra Pelada Mine in the State of Para, Brazil. Weighing 1,955 troy ounces (60.8 kg; 134.1 lb) gross, and containing 1,682.5 troy ounces (52.33 kg; 115.37 lb) of gold,[8][9] it is among the largest gold nuggets ever found,[10][11] and is, today, the largest in existence.
And the 2nd biggest at Beta, ranks as the 2nd biggest nugget still existing, outside of its big brother. In terms of a double nugget find, nothing else is in the ballpark with the Beta nuggets. This is the greatest big nugget find combined, in the history of the world, and by far.
And the funniest part is the people telling you not to invest. Amazing. "We just found the biggest gold nugget in the world, in a pre existing mine." Then they start "you better not invest there, sell, its going down, they have only 1 find, its only 1 nugget, the company owes money...blah blah blah". *Buy this stock and keep it.*
